IntiLED architectural lighting for the historical complex Poi-Kalan

Year
2019
About the project
Poi-Kalan is the central historical architectural complex of Bukhara, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The name of the complex in translation means "the Foot of the Great." It consists of three structures of the XII-XVI centuries: the Kalan mosque, the Kalan minaret and the Miri Arab madrasah.
The Kalan Mosque has been the main cathedral mosque of Bukhara for all five centuries of its existence. Legendary madrasah Miri Arab (active educational institution) is located right across the Kalan mosque. The madrasah consists of 111 cells and two large rooms. In one, there are tombs of already noble Bukhara residents, in the other there is a mosque and a place for study. Miri Arab is one of the most famous Muslim educational institutions of Central Asia; its graduates occupy a prominent religious and public position in many republics that practice Islam.
Ideas and tasks
For two main structures of Poi-Kalan - Kalyan Mosque and Miri Arab madrasah - light designers have developed a unified concept of architectural lighting. The buildings are made in a single architectural style and facing each. The main task that light designers faced was to emphasize the unity of this ensemble and create a holistic evening look.
The colors chosen for lighting became a reflection of the colorful palette of the national Uzbek costume.
Project Implementation
To highlight the architectural elements of the ensemble and create flood lighting from the ground, powerful IntiGROUND series RGB luminaries were used. For convenience, the luminaire provides the ability to align the light beam (up to 15 °) by adjusting the angle of the LED board.
Miri Arab domes are evenly lit by IntiSTARK series fixtures. The luminous flux of floodlights directs the madrassah visually upward. This effect is associated with the holiness of this impressive religious building.
All equipment is integrated into a single lighting system and is controlled by the DMX-512 protocol. Lamps work in two modes: fixed color and dynamic, which allows you to create different dynamic scenarios.
